I found a solution to baby-friendly guacamole (because I oversalt everything non-sweet that I eat. Super healthy, oh yes): use saltine crackers instead of nachos for dipping. LO gets guacamole with veeery little salt an mom can load up on her NaCl fix with saltines bristling with it. It's an acquired taste, but worked for me
So h left the house in his slippers today. It's not worth it to drive home, and he is too frugal to go buy new shoes, So instead he is just going to work in his slippers. He has to attempt to sell cars in his slippers. I really wish I was there to see.

According to Someone on my FB, if your man lets you put pictures of yourself in skimpy clothes on FB then he obviously has no respect for you. Except bikinis are different. Those don't count.
Some how short shorts are less respectful than a bikini :-/

I'm wondering if I should be concerned that DD only gained 3 oz between Dec 23 and March 10?
She crawls, which I think can make weight gain slow down (?), and she hates her solids. The doctor who we saw on March 10 was a new doctor here in Chicago and was such an asshole and in so much of a hurry he didn't say anything about it. Or much of anything at all...
Is she acting hungry? Is she keeping on her growth chart?
She dropped from 50th to ~10th percentile.. She isn't really acting hungrier. I feel like this is something the doctor should have addressed. I am seeing a different doctor tomorrow. I'm just worrying about it now or finding out something is wrong with her or my milk or something. Mommas gonna worry.
If she dropped percentiles they may recommend you stop doing BLW.
I hope everything is ok!
ETA: I got your post @livvyx mixed up with SRC...arg. Sorry...not sure if you are doing BLW or puréed foods.

I'm no doctor but that doesn't seem like enough, and dropping percentiles might be a concern. How much did she grow lengthwise?

I'm not doing BLW. I would have thought that BLW would be good for weight gain? No? Are purees better? We are doing purees but not with a lot of success @lancomechica
The growth charts should be standard across the world because its WHO data that goes into setting them. However, some old growth charts still float around that are not current.
In speaking with my friend who is a pediatric GI RD she said any child/baby who is having difficulty with weight gain should not do BLW because they aren't really getting much nutrition from it. If more food is ending up on the floor or in the bib it's not ideal for weight gain. However, at this point we should only be "pleasure eating". Good luck with the doc and hopefully it's a growth chart issue.
I don't know what a nitrate is. Someone mentioned they were also in carrots, or jars or carrots, or not in jars of carrots but in freshly cooked carrots.. Bacon = carrot?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is clueless as to what a nitrate is.

We went to Rita's for the first time this year and H gave some of his ice to Ben. He liked it but he had never had anything frozen before and this was his brain freeze face.
@livvyx , Riley has had issues gaining since Dec as well. I was more freaked out than the pedi. We just did a weight check and she gained 1lb in two weeks! I think getting her ears checked and doing wax removal/antibiotics helped. Maybe get her ears checked?
What now passes for foreplay in this house: "We probably don't have very long. Just stick it in."
Sounds about right.

Every time I see Anna I think, "Oh, there's @jackson290721!" And every time I see Elsa I think, "Oh, there's @KMRR86!" I get all excited and then I remember, "Nope, they are real people."
DH and I just watched it this afternoon, too. Except it's our 3rd time watching it. We even had a little duet during 'Love is an open door." We're children.

Well Anna was voiced by Kristen Bell, and my name is Kristen. So we can just pretend it was me.

@citrusfamily I drank last night and thank goodness I didn't feel so bad today. 2 weeks ago I had a hangover that I still can't stop thinking about. It.was.awful.
My motor last night was: NO SHOTS and a 5 drink minimum. I had a dirty martini, a local IPA and 3 Stellas. It was the perfect amount but I probably shouldn't have mixed my alcohols
